Summary:

 

The Follow Up Boss field called Contact Stage and the Zillow Premier Agent field called Contact Status are equivalent in the two (2) systems. However, the entries one can select in either case are not obvious matches; to make the equivalency more obvious, Flex ZPP Partners participating in ZPP are asked to add or update Follow Up Boss Stages to match Zillow Status. The following steps instruct a Follow Up Boss team lead on how to add or edit Follow Up Boss Stages to match Zillow Status. This article also includes a description of what each Follow Up Boss Stage and Zillow Status means in terms of the sales pipeline.
